aphanamixis grandifolia/leukemia

Amooranin (AMR), a plant terpenoid, isolated from Amoora rohituka, was investigated for its ability to overcome multidrug resistance in human leukemia and colon carcinoma cell lines. AMR IC(50) values of multidrug-resistant leukemia (CEM/VLB) and colon carcinoma (SW620/Ad-300) cell lines were higher

Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein complex of hTERT and hTER, has been reported to be associated with carcinogenesis and multidrug resistance (MDR). Methyl-25-hydroxy-3-oxoolean-12-en-28-oate (AMR-Me) is a novel semisynthetic triterpenoid, derived from a triterpene acid isolated from the stem bark of a

Rohitukine, a chromone alkaloid, has gained considerable international attention in recent years because of its novel semi-synthetic derivative, flavopiridol and P-276-00. Both these molecules are in advanced stages of clinical development and trial for cancer treatment. Recently, flavopiridol was

2 new limonoid-type terpenes have been isolated from an aqueous extract of seeds produced by the Eastern Himalayan (India) plant Aphanamixis grandifolia B1. By interpreting principally mass spectral and nuclear magnetic resonance data, the structures of 12-hydroxyamoorastatin (2b) and amoorastatone
